Setting Isolation Options for Folders and Files
InstallShield 2024 » Microsoft App-V Assistant
Edition:The Microsoft App-V Assistant is included in the Premier Edition of InstallShield.
Version:Some settings apply to particular versions of App-V packages. Version-specific differences are noted where appropriate.
The Microsoft App-V Assistant enables you to configure isolation options for folders (in App-V 4.x and 5.x packages) and for files (in App-V 4.x packages). Isolation options indicate how the isolation environment provides access to system resources that the virtual application needs: you can choose to ignore one or more folders on the client system, or you can choose to create a merged view of one or more folders.
To configure isolation options for a folder or file:
| 1. | In the Microsoft App-V Assistant, open the Files page. |
| 2. | Right-click the file or folder that you want to configure and then click Isolation Options. The Options dialog box opens. |
| 3. | Select the appropriate option. |
| 4. | Click OK. |
Files and folders that have a custom isolation option are marked with a special icon:
